Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 528 - Ek man tujhya avaghya bhaandavala

Marathi Text

एक मन तुझ्या अवघ्या भांडवला । वांटिता ते तुला येईल कैसे ॥१॥

म्हणऊनी दृढ धरी पांडुरंग । देहा लावीं संग प्रारब्द्धचा ॥२॥

आणिका संकल्पा नको गोऊं मन । तरीच कारण सिद्ध होय ॥३॥

तुका म्हणे ऐसे जाणावे उचित । तरी सहज स्थित येईल कळों ॥४॥

 

Roman Script

1.      Ek man tujhya avaghya bhaandavala, vateeta te tula yeil kaise

2.      Mhanaunee drudh dharee Panduranga, deha laavee sang praarabhdhaacha

3.      Aanika sankalpaa nako gou man, tareceh karan saadhya hoy

4.      Tuka mhane aise jaanaave uchit, taree sahaj sthit yeil kalo

 

Translation

1.      You have only one mind and how do you think that you can apply it to many different causes?

2.      So, just keep your mind steadfast in concentrating on Lord Pandurang. Let your body be surrendered to the things which are written in your destiny.

3.      Do not entangle your mind in any other goal. Only then you'll be able to achieve the higher goal of life i.e. Self-Realization.

4.      Yuka says, this is the right thing to know and I would like you to understand this. If you know this in your heart, then you'll understand the true nature of the state of Self Realization.
